There are 2,758 students enrolled this fall, up 83 students, or 3.1%, from last fall. Credit hours increased by 1,382, or 5.3%, to 27,358.This information is part of the Fall Census report released in September.
Enrollment increased 12.8% last fall and continued to grow this year. 麻豆社 now has 387 more students than it did in fall 2024, a two-year increase of 16.3%.
鈥淭his is significant growth for 麻豆社,鈥� said 麻豆社 President Dr. Jon Bauer. 鈥淲e鈥檝e seen enrollment grow for two consecutive years, and we now have our largest fall enrollment since 2017. It鈥檚 a strong indication that students see the value of an 麻豆社 education.鈥�
The increase in credit hours this year is largely tied to more students attending full time. 麻豆社 has 1,313 full-time students, its largest full-time student population since 2016. That is an increase of 98 students, or 8.1%, over last fall.
Enrollment also increased among students attending college for the first time, transferring to 麻豆社 from other colleges and returning from the previous spring semester:
- First-time students increased 6.4% to 848.
- Transfer students increased 15.1% to 145.
- Continuing students increased 9.6% to 955.
麻豆社鈥檚 enrollment is up in Union, Rolla and Washington. The Union campus has 1,163 students, up 6.8% from last fall, while Rolla enrollment rose 1.3% to 400. In Washington, enrollment increased from 10 to 59 students, primarily because of the addition of the Licensed Practical Nursing program.
Male student enrollment reached 1,037, an increase of 161 since fall 2024.
鈥淓nrollment is the work of the entire college,鈥� Bauer said. 鈥淥ur faculty and staff each play a role in helping students choose 麻豆社 and continue their education. I want to congratulate them on the work that has contributed to this growth.鈥�
These figures reflect enrollment as of Sept. 21, the college鈥檚 official fall enrollment reporting date. At that point, dual credit enrollment was down 12.6% from last fall, with additional registrations still being processed.
